Baylor Clarinet Choir’s appearance is sponsored in part by Baylor University

Baylor Clarinet Choir is composed primarily of music education majors, performance majors and students from other departments at Baylor University. These students participate in the Wind Ensemble,Symphonic Band, Symphony and chamber ensembles. The members meet regularly to perform and study a wide range of clarinet chamber music, learning how to recognize and adjust for problems encountered on a variety of musical styles, and study clarinet ensemble and section problems encountered in various styles and performance situations. The choir rehearses and performs regularly and serves as the host ensemble for the “Baylor Clarinet Choir and Clarinet Chamber Music Festival”.  In 2015, They were also featured at  Texas Music Educators Association in San Antonio and the First Annual Clarinet Colloquium in Dallas, Texas.

Jun Qian is Assistant Professor of clarinet at Baylor University and principal clarinetist of  Waco Symphony in Texas, USA. He won first prize in the Orchestral Excerpts Competition and third prize in the Solo Competition at 1997 International Clarinet Association’s Young Artist Competition, the first artist in the ICA’s history to receive both prizes in the same year.  As an endorsing artist for Selmer of Paris and D’Addario of New York, Qian performed as soloist with Eastman Wind Ensemble,  Shanghai Symphony, Shanghai Philharmonic, Xiamen Philharmonic, Pueblo Symphony, Eastman Chamber Orchestra, Baylor Symphony Orchestra, Baylor Wind Ensemble and Shangyang Opera Orchestra. He introduces many Western solos in full orchestral version to Chinese audiences (such as Copland Concerto) and presents new compositions by Chinese composers with his “East Meets West” project to Western audiences.  As formal principal clarinetist with Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, Eastman Wind Ensemble, he studied with Richard Shanley  (Baylor), Kenneth Grant and Stanley Hasty (Eastman) USA.
